Study Notes
Dental Formula
- Deciduous dentition:
- Dog: 3/3, 1/1, 3/3, 0/0, 28
- Ruminant: 0/4, 0/0, 3/3, 0/0, 20
- Horse: 3/3, 0/0, 3/3, 0/0, 24
- Pig: 3/3, 1/1, 4/4, 0/0, 32
- Cat: 3/3, 1/1, 3/2, 0/0, 26
- Birds: No teeth
- Permanent dentition:
- Dog: 3/3, 1/1, 4/4, 2/3, 42
- Ruminant: 0/4, 0/0, 3/3, 3/3, 32
- Horse: 3/3, 1/1, 3(4)/3, 3/3, 40-42
- Pig: 3/3, 1/1, 4/4, 3/3, 44
- Cat: 3/3, 1/1, 3/2, 1/1, 30
Salivary Glands
- Parotid salivary gland
- Mandibular salivary gland
- Sublingual salivary gland
- Opening of parotid duct:
- Horse: level at the 3rd cheek teeth
- Sublingual gland:
- Horse: Only polystomatic part is present
Mouth and Pharynx
- Esophagus:
- Four layers: tunica mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis, tunica adventitia/serosa
- Dog and ruminant: entirely striated
- Pig: striated at only near cardia, smooth muscle/caudal part
- Horse: striated at the first 2/3
- Stomach:
- Major divisions: cardiac, fundus, body, pyloric
- Horse:
- Small compared to other species
- Fundus is extended to form the saccus caecus
- Well developed cardiac sphincter
- Oblique entrance of esophagus, inability to vomit
Intestine
- Small intestine:
- Begins at the pylorus and ends at the caecocolic junction
- Three parts: duodenum, jejunum, ileum
- Main functions: digestion, absorption
- In horse, duodenum is fixed in its position by a short mesoduodenum
- Jejunum:
- In horse, most of the jejunum is found within the left dorsal part of the abdomen
- A considerable degree of mobility is provided to the jejunum by its long mesentery
- Ileum:
- The distinction between the jejunum and the ileum is defined by the proximal extent of the ileo-caecal fold
- In horse, dysfunction of the nervous supply to the ileum leads to a permanent contraction of the muscular coat of the ileum, which can result in impaction and thus colic
- Large intestine:
- From caecum to anus
- Three parts: caecum, colon, rectum
- Horse: horseshoe shaped colon
Liver
- Location: right half of the abdomen
- Four main lobes: left hepatic lobe, right hepatic lobe, caudate lobe, quadrate lobe
- Comparison between species:
- Dog: papillary process is present
- Horse: papillary process is absent, lack gallbladder, right hepatic lobe is undivided
Pancreas
- Location: dorsal part of the abdominal cavity in close relationship to the proximal part of the duodenum
- Three parts: body of the pancreas, right lobe, left lobe
- Comparison between species:
- Dog: letter V
- Horse: massive and triangular
- Pig: left lobe is larger
- Ruminant: irregular to quadrilateral in shape
- Presence or absence of pancreatic duct/accessory duct:
- Pancreatic duct: duct of Wirsung
- Accessory pancreatic duct: duct of Santorini
Respiratory System
- Upper respiratory tract:
- Nose: hairless and sharply demarcated from the unmodified skin in all domestic mammals except in horse
- Variation in shape of nostrils between species
